- To Mariam and Asla, America was both beautiful and pockmarked. But they believed in it, because here they became the people they were meant to be...
...On July Fourth, the Al-Khafajis will celebrate their arrival in this country, and they’ll remember the long, tortuous road to this place, and the long road ahead, and they’ll do what they always do on the Fourth.
They’ll pile into the family’s Honda Odyssey and drive up to Buffalo, which, like Erie, has a large community of refugees and immigrants from all over the world.
There’s a Yemeni restaurant there that they like.
It serves, according to the sisters, a solid lamb and rice dish.
- Then, they’ll head on to Niagara Falls, a half hour away, and watch the fireworks over the falls.
- They’ll take pictures with their phones, and enjoy the lovely nighttime breeze, and then they’ll climb back in the car and drive home."

White House report signals openness to manipulating sunlight to prevent climate change | Fox News:
A research document published on the White House website reveals the Biden administration is open to studying how to block sunlight to save the Earth from climate change.
The congressionally mandated report released by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy on Friday shows that the team has been researching "geoengineering" methods to keep the sun rays from accelerating global warming.
As the University of Oxford notes in its entry on the subject, "geoengineering" is "the deliberate large-scale intervention in the Earth’s natural systems to counteract climate change."
It ain't her money. She's spending yours for the political kickback!-----Michigan’s $630M Ford subsidy is no guarantee of new jobs
Michigan’s $630M Ford subsidy is no guarantee of new jobs - By Ewan Hayes
- Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed a bill in March to grant Ford $630 million in the name of bringing in new jobs and growing the Michigan economy.
- Giving Ford subsidies is no guarantee of job growth, however. Last year, Ford received $100 million to spend on hiring 3,000 new employees, but it promptly fired 3,000 other employees.
- Ford predicted that it would lose $3 billion this year on electric vehicles after a loss of $2.1 billion the previous year.

Gotta read all. This is nuts!----Sorority Kicks out Woman Because She's Also a Man
Sorority Kicks out Woman Because She's Also a Man“... New York’s private St. Lawrence University, where a hopeful student came up calamitously short. Last fall, 22-year-old biological male Fabián “Fa” Guzmán rushed for membership to a ladies-only sorority.
Subsequently, the senior was accepted into famed female club Chi Omega.
Fa frolicked with his new family as he squeezed the Charmin of sisterhood.
Fa frolicked with his new family as he squeezed the Charmin of sisterhood.
Tragically, it ended with a wipe-out:
In early June, the sorority girl got the boot.
- But it wasn’t because of biology.
“The feeling of happiness was indescribable because, for me, honestly, I always felt attracted to the idea of being part of a sorority, but I never thought it was going to be possible. To receive that call and hear them say, ‘You’re a part of us and you’re able to join’ was one of the happiest days of my life.”...
The situation snagged upper-management’s attention. Not long after, Chi Omega kicked out Fa. As it turns out, the organization offers only two eligibility avenues:
[O]n June 2, [Fa was] notified via email that [his] membership would be voided immediately with no chance for an appeal.
“The selection criteria in the policy on membership includes ‘females and individuals identifying as women,’ which, by the chapter’s own understanding and your indication through the process, it is clear you did not meet the criteria at the time of joining,” the email read. “We are bound by our governing documents, and your membership must be voided.”...

The Truth About Ivermectin
The Truth About Ivermectin - Marina Zhang
However, since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and affiliated health authorities have vociferously recommended against ivermectin as a potential treatment for the virus.
- Medical miracle or notorious lynchpin of misinformation?
However, since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and affiliated health authorities have vociferously recommended against ivermectin as a potential treatment for the virus.
- Though the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved ivermectin for human use in treating conditions caused by parasites, it has also insisted that ivermectin “has not been shown to be safe or effective” when it comes to treating COVID-19.
- In a social media message that has gone viral, the FDA labeled it as a drug for horses and not fit for human consumption: “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.”
Yet, research findings seem to contradict the public health organization’s recommendations.
A growing body of research shows that ivermectin is an essential treatment for COVID-19.

Top NIH official admitted to COVID origins scientists he used personal email, deleted messages, and scrubbed Fauci's 'fingerprints' to avoid transparency: Report - TheBlaze:
A top adviser to Anthony Fauci at the National Institutes of Health appears to have tried his best to ensure the American people wouldn't know what he and the scientists looking into the origins of COVID-19 were privately discussing while publicly downplaying the lab-leak theory.
